the pillows is a band that has seen huge success in Japan, but has also enjoyed ever increasing popularity overseas. Ensuring their success in the United States was the release of the soundtrack for the anime "FLCL (furikuri)," which consists of only songs by the pillows.

Upbeat rock, catchy melodies, and Manabu's powerful guitar riffs paired with Sato's drumming and Yamanaka's unique vocals give the pillows a distinct sound in the J-music scene.
